A hike with my Rolleicord Last year I started making point of view videos to accompany these blog posts, since I thought it would be nice to remember the context of some of the pictures I was taking. A lot ...
Lockdown self-portraits on instax and 4×5 film During the lockdown photography was really difficult for me here, because most of my photography happens outdoors, street photography, documentary photography, that sort of thing. In Spain the lockdown was really strict though, so going ...
nostalgia When the going gets tough, it feels nice to have footage from before the Coronavirus pandemic to edit. That’s what I did the last week and I think it did me some good. By now ...
Normality We’re living through very strange times indeed. For me it isn’t really anything new to be stuck inside because of some health crisis. Normally these are my own health problems though and everyone else just ...
Landscapes with the Mamiya Universal Press In the last blog post I shared the pictures and video from my very first outing with my new Mamiya Universal Press. I was shooting peel apart film in it right after getting it from ...
Shooting ISO 100 film in winter Yesterday I uploaded another video to YouTube telling the story of a particularly difficult roll that I shot over the last few weeks, if not even months. I was a bit too optimistic for my ...
home sweet home The last couple of days were very productive and I managed to edit 7 rolls each on both days. That’s a lot of work, so I was busy with that all day. There isn’t that ...
thumbs up I managed to edit 4 rolls today and reached another milestone: 49 rolls left to go! Two thirds of my editing marathon are over and I’m making a lot of progress now. I’m sure I ...
diving in Since last night’s post I have already edited another 5 rolls and I might even do some more later on. I guess I’m finally getting into a good workflow and I just need to keep ...
sad robot I always make the best progress when I start editing right after waking up. 4 rolls edited today and 71 left to go. I also shot past the halfway point now, since I have now ...
intense moment Taken with: Leica M6, Zeiss 35mm f/2.8, Neopan 400CN, HC-110. Another 3 rolls edited, 75 left to go! Every day I make a little bit of progress. It still looks like a veritable mountain of ...
photo bomb Taken with: Leica M6, Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.1, T-Max 100, HC-110. Yesterday I had to take an unexpected break from editing, because I wasn’t feeling too well. Even though my health is reasonably ok these ...
on top of the world Taken with: Horizon 202, T-Max 100, HC-110. Another 2 rolls edited today and 80 rolls left to go! I’m definitely putting the “pro” in “procrastination” with my photo editing, but there is progress nevertheless. There ...
Rain dance Taken with: Leica M6, Voigtländer Nokton 50mm f/1.1, T-Max 100, HC-110. Today a miracle happened: I found two rolls that were already edited although my clever OCD Excel sheet said that they still need to ...
Neverending Story It is barely midday and I already finished my editing, which is good since I‘m likely to burst into flame if I get close to the computer again today. It‘s 37 degrees in the shade ...
Return of the (more or less) daily blog Taken with: Rolleicord V, Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 75mm f/3.5, Fuji Provia 100F, HC-110+TetenalC41. If you’ve been following my vlogs then you know that I’ve been in a never-ending editing hamster wheel. I’m trying to do my ...
Protests against the Zubieta garbage incinerator I often complain that the little Basque beach resort where we live is photographically boring. You can see everything there is to see in a few days, it’s invariably a little too glossy, a little ...
new ventures It’s been a long while since I last updated this blog. As you know, I often take breaks and do other things in between bouts of photographic activity. Sometimes I learn languages, other times I ...
Christmas in the Basque Country – Part 1 I always plan on posting more and then life somehow gets in the way. This time the problem was that I’ve been having way too much fun with the courses I’m taking on coursera and ...
breaking the lines Lately I’ve been in the mood for some more focused learning and I’ve been following some online courses, some photography related, some not, and it has been an enjoyable experience. Every few years I make ...
